I've been covering the business of news, information and entertainment in one form or another for more than 10 years. In February 2014, I moved to San Francisco to cover the tech beat. My primary focus is social media and digital media, but I'm interested in other aspects, including but not limited to the sharing economy, lifehacking, fitness & sports tech and the evolving culture of the Bay Area. In past incarnations I've worked at AOL, Conde Nast Portfolio, Radar and WWD. Circle me on Google+, follow me on Twitter or send me tips or ideas at jbercovici@forbes.com.

Syndicated radio host and conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Alex Jones has a few things to say about his jaw-dropping encounter with Piers Morgan on CNN Monday night.

“I give myself about an ‘A,’” Jones said on “The Alex Jones Show” Tuesday, appraising an appearance that mostly involved him shouting over Morgan and refusing to answer questions about what he deemed the “factoids” of gun violence. “The consensus is in. I would say 95% of people thought I just told it like it was, slammed him in the face….I’m proud of the job I did.”

Jones was ostensibly on the show to explain why he’d started a petition to have Morgan deported. Jones says the British TV personality is part of “the New World Order,” a corporatist, globalist conspiracy to suppress free people everywhere by taking away their guns, tracking their cell phones and poisoning them with psychoactive drugs in their drinking water, among other tactics.

(If you haven’t already watched the interview, it’s at the bottom of this post. It’s fascinating viewing — almost totally information-free, yet enlightening after its own fashion.)

On his radio show, Jones said his petition was never meant to be taken literally. “Obviously I know he’s not going to be deported,” he said. “I wanted to point out that we can culturally deport him. He’s already been culturally deported from England.”

He said he was surprised to be invited on Morgan’s show because “they knew live on air I would run over them,” and more surprised to see the state of CNN’s offices in New York, which he has visited several times in the past.

“When I was at CNN a decade ago, it was glistening,” he said. Now, he said, “it looks like Hitler’s bunker….torn-up carpet, feces all over the wall and on the floor in the bathroom. It’s rotting.

“Folks, I’ve been in those exact rooms,” he added. “It literally looked like a gas station bathroom in the worst part of town. It was rotting and those people were in hell. It’s a skeleton of what it was, it’s a globalist operation and they’re nothing.” He said he didn’t bother to wear a jacket for his appearance because “I don’t respect that show.”

Jones said his visit to CNN and his entire trip to New York provided abundant proof of his suspicion that Morgan is working in cahoots with the New World Order. “Let me tell you something, folks: New York City is a giant tomb,” he said. Anywhere he went in the city, he said, he was followed by undercover police posing as fans. “They knew where we were. They were obviously tracking us by our cell phones,” he said. “It was all just pure intimidation out of a movie.”

He said Morgan’s past admissions that he knew about the technique of cell phone hacking while editing British tabloids is proof that he is only posing as a journalist. “If you think a reporter knows how to phone-hack people, I’ve got a bridge to sell you,” he said. “These are government operatives…All these guys are CIA.”

“You’ve got a snotnosed accent and look like you’re anorexic,” he added, addressing an imaginary Morgan after the fact. “You look like a mannequin, a vampire. The only thing that scares me is looking like you.”

I forgot the pop corn! Darn! Nice fight, the Robin hood street warrior against the league’s chairman! Alex comes across a bit despaired & weak due to his enthusiasm & the need to be and proven right. Piers is a Brit gentleman who keeps his cool. Alex is very intelligent & just knows too much but way too gung ho imo. I hate guns because I grow up with out any anywhere close to my fam but try telling that to a Texan, I say bring a body armor before you open your mouth. For all I know, until the local laws & the 2nd change (good luck with that), a man has the right to fire arms under the state’s mandates. My cardinal dumdum rule is: kids and guns in the house should never co-exist, no matter if you keep them in a safe made out of Kryptonite. ———10-4, Roger that smoky!

What points did Jones town make but a ranting manifesto by a man that is truly unhinged. I bet that Jones will make a public apology once his sponsors start dumping him…remember this is all about money and ego…with a touch of insanity.

Also, Morgan is an American citizen…but it seems in the new America that this definition can be changed at will. America has turned into “us” verse “them” mentality, were free speech is allowed as long as you are one of us”.

Reading the recent posts on various sites most of the comments are violent, ignorant, and hateful.

I just listened to Piers Morgan do a phone interview on CNN who, by the way, does a good job of having a ratio of 20 anti-gun guests for every 1 pro-gun guest on its program, and two things disturbed me. Firstly, Morgan continually refers to the Bushmaster .223 and AR15 civilian rifles as “machine guns.” Are liberals that single-minded in eliminating civilian firearms that they do not realize that machine guns are illegal in civilian hands and, since Congress passed a law in 1986 known as the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986, new ones cannot even be constructed for civilian sale? Secondly, Morgan continuously, refers to Alex Jones as a model of gun extremism and how he has influence over millions of gun owners. What a lie. The guy came across like a lunatic, paranoid nut who has 50 guns at home. Jerrold Louhgner, who committed the Arizona shootings, never demonstrated an irrational act prior to the shootings and is now being considered for his mental health status. Alex Jones, who has 50 weapons in his possession, demonstrated what I would consider irrational behavior and NOBODY is considering evaluating his mental health?

What a clown that Jones fellow is, he refers to the Union flag (which he probably thinks is the English flag) as the Jolly Roger. It is the Union flag and referred to as the Union Jack when flown on a ship.

Enter Your Commenting I am no fan of Piers Morgan, a pompous self absorbed overly confident Brit, who most of the time is an arrogant ass – and why would anyone care what he thinks anyway – I first need to respect someone’s intelligence. But Alex Jones makes Piers likable. What a stupid asshole Jones is – like anyone would respect his opinion either. Good riddance to both.
